Re: MC 6 Way Blade
I appreciate all the responses. The front end is most definitely overweight, the good news is I have an almost complete parts tractor with what appears to be a decent undercarriage (the engine is seized and I am so tempted to find an engine for it and see I would have a second running MC). I have fo...

Re: MC 6 Way Blade
I wouldn't be opposed to rebuilding how the blade attaches to the tractor, however, i would need a good picture or diagram of where 'further back' would be. I am also thinking about adding some weights to the rear of the tractor to help even out the tractor would that help keep the wear on the front...

MC 6 Way Blade
I am wanting to build a 6 way blade for my MC. It currently has a 4 way on it. I use the tractor to move maybe 50 to 100 yds of material a year. So not a whole lot. Typically the material is dumped by 10yd dump trucks Below is a video of how it is currently I am hoping someone might have a good idea...

Re: Running Temp or Overheated
Ran the MC quite a bit over the weekend, used something that i built similar to a brush rack however with only one inverted plow/gouging thing to rip scotch broom out. Anyway tractor never seemed to overheat, so between changing the coolant out and swapping the caps (gas and radiator) something fixe...

Re: 3 Point on a MC
Thanks for the information. I had pretty much surmised that the MC didn't have one and also that they probably were not stout enough in the rear to run one. I'd love to figure out a way to do it though without the risk of damaging the crawler. Maybe making something that could mount of the draw bar ...

3 Point on a MC
Has anyone seen a three point on an MC. I live in real rocky soil and would love to be able to attach some kind of ripper type operation on the back of it for small projects.
I know a ripper and a 3 Point are different however i am curious if i can hybrid something for small time use.
Thanks

Re: Running Temp or Overheated
Well, serviced the trans, the final drives, the coolant system, took some track pads off an welded them back together. Took it to a weld shop and had several large cracks that i discovered in the arms for the blade welded up. They ended up plating them as well. Now I just got to get it out of the sh...

Re: Running Temp or Overheated
So I am running it for the second heat cycle with some cleaning agent in fresh water. I don’t have the cap on and my gut tells me it’s not heating up as fast. So o did a quick search and this is what the current radiator cap looks like however I see no hole or pressure release unless it just from th...

Re: Running Temp or Overheated
Hmm, i will have to heck the radiator cap. Its the one that has been on it ever since we got the machine (like 20 plus years ago), I always figured it was the right one but i would hate to make that assumption. What if i just drilled a small hole in the top of it? In side of rad looking in doesn't l...

Running Temp or Overheated
To start off I apologize if this is one of those topics that is beat to death and I haven’t found it yet. I have a MC that warms up to 230, which is when I shut it down and let it cool off. I installed a new gauge replacing the broken one about a year ago and that when I started noticing it heating ...

Well here is at least one picture. After replacing the exhaust stack today, her hood went back on so she looks a little more appealing. She has spent the last couple of days spreading gravel. http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss164/BigKRob_album/IMG_1892.jpg (When i was a kid i was reading a book a...
